{grow with love} day seventeen

Happy fresh week scrappers!  I can’t believe we’re finally in the midst of Week Four of the Grow with Love project!  The end is in sight and that has me feeling both (admittedly) a little relieved and a little sad.  It’s been a journey in creative expression, in deep personal reflection, and in growth and hope in my marriage.

If you’re only just finding us please know that this project — at it’s heart — is meant to be one that you can complete in your own time and in your own way.  So ultimately there is still time to dive in and join us.  You can learn the back-story and the details of the project by reviewing the Day One post and then following the prompts with each new day as we hop between my blog and Crystal’s blog.

Before we dive in to today’s prompt, I wanted to take the time for a wee logistical note.  Crystal and I have been thinking about prize eligibility.  Originally we had mentioned that in order to be eligible for the “grand pooba prize” of a custom photobook you would need to use the templates AND the prompts.  Anyone would eligible for the gift certificate prizes (no matter if you used the templates or not).

BUT as this project has progressed, we’ve decided to change that a bit.  We understand that these pages we all are creating are, more than anything, story driven and our templates may not always fit the direction you want to go (I know they haven’t always done so for me)…we looove to see pages with the templates we’ve created, but ultimately we care more about the journey we all are taking.  And we are really excited about anyone playing along as they want to..and so we’ve decided that anyone who completes all 20 days of prompts will be eligible for the prizes, including the custom photobook.

Okeedokee, now on to today’s prompt.  Today is Day Seventeen. And this prompt is a lighter one that can be a lot of fun as we look back on special date night moments.  Let’s take a look:

For this one I had fun recalling many special and fun date nights shared with my husband, and ultimately in the end I landed on what’s kind of emerged as our “regular” date night.  It’s not as “flashy” or BIG, but it’s become really important to me.  So I scrapped about our sushi nights.  And decided to kind of mirror the stacked composition of sushi itself with my design.  Something simple, but it suits what I was going for.

Hope you have fun remembering your date nights!  Or maybe even scrapping about your longing for them.

And don’t forget to swing by Crystal’s blog tomorrow for Day Eighteen!

Happy Scrapping!!
